Back in the 1950s it was fairly common practice for smaller record labels to fund Classical Music recordings basically by selling them in advance. I'd love to help support the project no matter how donations are ultimately accepted but I wouldn't mind buying my Blu-Ray copy up front at a special subscription price--especially knowing that the purchase helped to fund the restoration. I realize it's more complicated than just accepting donations but just my $.02 Dave |

I am really happy to see that this particular project will FINALLY go forward, not a moment to soon and hopefully not to late.... Are you in contact with the editor of in70mm.com about the current project? |

A question: why the decision to scan to Vistavision instead of 65mm? Many thanks, Ole ALstrup |

Good luck.
